Where did AR and VR come from?
Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Extended Reality originated in 1838 with Charles Wheatstone's stereoscope, which used an image for each eye to create a 3D image. Ever since then, this technology has continuously grown and become more incorporated into our everyday lives.
What is the technology behind AR and VR?
Most of them use neural networks and machine learning technologies to achieve this effect. Face recognition helps to overlay digital content over a human face with high precision for numerous AR applications, such as makeup apps.
Who invented AR VR?
Augmented reality technology was invented in 1968, with Ivan Sutherland's development of the first head-mounted display system. However, the term 'augmented reality' wasn't coined until 1990 by Boeing researcher Tim Caudell. The technology has come a long way with a growing list of use cases for AR.
